of the branchlets; entire plant hispid and scabrous; leaves

39. Aplopappus gracilis Gray, PI. Fendl., 76. 



Type locality: "Along Santa Fe Creek." No. 393.

40. Solidago Canadensis L., Sp. Plant., 878. 

 Type locality: " Virginia and Canada." 



A specimen from Butler Spring agrees very well with 

 the typical form. One from the cliffs near Bluff City is 

 more closely allied to var. scabra. The leaves are few, 

 lance -oblong, entire, obscurely triple -nerved, distinctly 

 scabrous, slightly hispid on the margins; heads 3 mm. in 

 diameter, outer bracts of the involucre obtuse, inner, 

 acute. The plant grows to a height of three or four feet; 

 the clusters of the panicle are spreading and open.
